Meet us at RightsCon

RightsCon takes place March 3-5 in Silicon Valley. Hundreds of leaders from the areas human rights, business, technology and government around the world will meet to help advance technological solutions to human rights issues.

"Sourcefabric is a non-profit, non-governmental organization with one foot in the world of media and one in the world of technology. Our involvement in both media and technology also means that we can provide an interesting perspective when it comes to the discussions about rights that are going on in parallel to our work. More and more frequently, we are finding that there is an intersection between rights, technology and media, and we can contribute a lot there," Arellanes said.

Other themes on the program at this year's RightsCon include:

Measuring and preventing risk in the ICT sector

Tech solutions for human rights challenges

Innovations in digital rights

Internet governance reform

Restoring rights in the age of surveillance

Among the many speakers are:

Harvey Anderson, Senior Vice President Business and Legal Affairs, Mozilla
